so glad to know that this is coming out from SmarTone, especially in various colors, now i know for sure there will be chinese support. Must get!! so beautiful!!! whats the price on this would u think?

It's a nice design I think. The 816SH even comes in nice colours, and the features are nothing but competetive.

After all, this handset is HSDPA - which is important considering that todays network standards are improving rapidly.
For some this may not mean much, but for others HSDPA opens the doors to clearer communication and more flexible access to online services.
The mobile is no longer a sub-standard internet device, it's now stepped up to become part of a wider range of interlinked telco-services.

Just recieved a email from www.mobile-review.com an it be one of the 5 phones Vodafones going to be releasing at Xmas time the stupid idiots get yourself away from Vodafone to sell more phones an get a better name for yourself Sharp

SHARP actually released a 5 megapixel phone in Japan with 3x optical zoom and VGA screen (910SH). But they still need to work on the lense, as the strong zoom brought high noise levels and heavy barrel distortion.

I don't think they will be releasing a 5 megapixel CMOS camera anytime soon.

And another version of the 5MPx CCD is unlikely to be released, but we can only hope.

I wish they would have improved on their existing 3.2mpx matrix as it was the best, and still is the best 3.2mpx module for mobile phones.
